Application of Nonlinear Optics in Entomology KU Leuven
Up until now, insects have almost exclusively been studied with linear optical methods. However, nonlinear optical techniques, such as multiphoton microscopy, offer many advantages. Most importantly, due to the low probability of two photons interacting with a specimen simultaneously, multiphoton microscopy inherently offers optical slicing. It is therefore very easy to create a 3D image of a sample, with minimal loss of signal and a high ...
